Disorientation reading POSTPONED
It's times like these that try men's souls. Or something.
Anyway, the supposed incredible amount of snow has put PV theatre in the opinion that it wouldn't be nice to have people come through 3 or 4 inches of snow, enjoy a reading, then send everyone out into 8-10 inches. That's just not being considerate, is it? So the reading is postponed, possibly in the next two weekends, or simply never again. We shall see.
I was going to sandwich the "congratulations" post in here, too, but that's not cool. So look for a "congratulations" post tomorrow! WOO HOO!!!!

...Any Questions?
It seems as if there are some references, turns of phrases, and motivations that you might feel you're not be totally on point about, you can leave a question here or hit me on my email, kingmanton [a] gmail.com. I'd prefer here, so maybe you can answer someone else's question.

You Can't Meet: Anyone Else
...Cause you've met them all. As a man of my word (kinda, sorta), all the character descriptions are finished before the first rehearsal. There are three posts up below this post, so if you want to scroll down they are all there. If you just want a link, then you can find:
Katy, Rachel, Haley, and Angelica here,
Toby, Clint, Gavin, and Nathaniel here,
and Dean Anderson/Ms. Barron here.
For now, let's all hope that the Vikings beat the Iggles so that I'm a happy boy when I see you all tomorrow for the first rehearsal. Hurrah hurrah.

Meet: Dean Anderson and Ms. Barron
Note: These surveys were sent out by Elmore Two's Resident Advsior Beth to both Dean Anderson and the Hall Director, Ms. Barron, with the intent of sharing this with the students upon their arrival. After reviewing both submissions, it was decided it would be best if they were not shared with the residents.
Name: Ms. Barron, not "Miss" or "Mrs." but "Ms." as my personal life should not effect my title
Location: Swinton College, naturally. That’s where I am writing this, as you just handed this to me Beth. To be even more precise, Elmore, Floor Two.
Household: That is none of your business. We have a professional working relationship and the students would not benefit from such knowledge.
Fav. Music: Early Bob Dylan (before he sold out), CSNY, Joan Baez, and Aimee Mann if you want something contemporary.
Fav. Movies: Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Shadow of a Doubt, Notorious, Casablanca, Magnolia, if you want something in color
Fav. TV Show: Television is not something I waste my time with.
Fav. Sites: hillaryclinton2012.com is my new homepage. I am just waiting for the official word to come and when the site goes up.
Fav. Books: Tidal Wave, The Color Purple, Before Women Had Wings, Their Eyes Were Watching God
Personal Note: I hope this was insightful, although I’m not sure why it would be or why you would bother asking of me such questions. Enjoy the school year.
Name: Dean Anderson, but just call me Dean, like I'm a rebel without causes!
Location: At the best girlie school in the nation! Oh, don’t take that negatively. It’s just that there are girls here, so it’ll be girlie, right? Yeah! Sure it is!
Household: I have a son who I love very much. And I had a wife who I love not being with anymore just as much. Just kidding, she’s a great lady…considering she can’t really be alive with her black heart.
Fav. Music: Oh I like your hip hop and your Snoops Dogg and Doctors and the like. The whole Knuckleheads With Altitude crew! I’m also a huge fan of Foreigner who STILL put on a great show!
Fav. Movies: Is there anything better than Kindergarten Cop? You have laughs, you have action, and you have ferrets.
Fav. TV Show: Welcome Back, Carter! So much young talent in one place. Same with Three’s Company.
Fav. Sites: I just found this youtube.com and man, that sneezing panda is the cutest, most ferocious killing machine I’ve ever seen
Fav. Books: Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader always gets me through the…tough…times, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
Personal Note: No, YOU are!

Note: These profiles were pulled from City College's systems from a census and survey of the students' views on City College.

They did not help in any way.
